Yep. I bet if you listened more you'd probably discover the genius in it, because you strike me as an openminded person. Though not every shoe is as good as the one I heard today. The brothers had an Italian caller who's burned up his car's motor driving it hard. They got to show off their linguistic and cultural skills in jokes about Italian attitudes and treatment of cars. I suppose if you have no positive feelings about cars or Italians, you'd have less connection to the whole schtick.
The other day I had a friend tell me that she just can't stand Garrison Keillor & Prarie Home Companion. What's not to like? She said she felt like it was condescending, like kindergarten for adults. I suppose so. It is like a kids show in which there are many jokes for the grownups, but they are between the lines and remain there.
Then there was the boyfriend who HATED Terri Gross. When he said he despised her, I knew he was headed for out OUT box.
I'm just waiting for someone to tell me that they can't stand Ira Glass. I'm going to test them like mad for occult homophobia.
